Summary

Thomas W. Bacchus School is an elementary school located in Kearns, Utah, serving 332 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Granite School District, which is ranked 70 out of 93 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Thomas W. Bacchus School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools over the past decade, with a ranking between 492-544 out of 551-572 schools.

One of the key issues facing Thomas W. Bacchus School is its high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.8% to 32.7% in recent years. This is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like South Kearns, West Kearns, and Diamond Ridge. Additionally, the school's academic performance, as measured by RISE test scores, is significantly below state and Granite District averages across all grade levels and subjects.

Another factor that may contribute to the school's challenges is its high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 52.68% to 59.1% in recent years. This is higher than the rates of many nearby schools. When comparing Thomas W. Bacchus School to other elementary schools in the immediate vicinity, it consistently underperforms on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism. For example, Diamond Ridge School, which is less than a mile away, has significantly higher test scores and a lower chronic absenteeism rate.
